Chapter 265: Just Wait to Be Bullied

"We are so lucky to have met Miss Zhong." Sang Xingjia also sighed.

Sang Yu's mind moved, and he turned his head to look at his eldest brother, and suddenly asked: "Brother, have you considered becoming a son-in-law?"

Gaining status and position through the imperial examination is not as quick as living off a gigolo. Moreover, her elder brother is handsome, tall, knowledgeable and talented, making him more than qualified to be a son-in-law.

There are four families in the city. If they can get help from one of them, their family will not have to worry about their future life.

Her light words frightened Sang Xingjia to death.

He would try to dissuade others at home, even if it was Sang Yongjing's idea. But once Sang Yu made up his mind, no one could change it.

Seeing her eyes rolling around, clearly planning something bad, he hastily refused: "Little sister, I still hope to make more achievements in my studies and don't want to think about getting married for the time being."

In fact, Sang Yu regretted the moment he said it. As the saying goes, "If you rely on the mountain, the mountain will fall; if you rely on people, they will run away."

Although being a son-in-law is a shortcut to curry favor with the powerful, but always having to rely on others and look after their faces will not necessarily make your life more comfortable than it is now.

You still have to make yourself bigger and stronger and hold power in your hands to provide better protection for your family.

However, seeing Sang Xingjia anxious, she suddenly had another idea.

"Oh? Big brother is devoted to study?"

Sang Xingjia nodded repeatedly: "Dedicate yourself to learning and serve your country."

"Then why haven't you seen Big Brother become my disciple yet? Is it because you can't find a suitable teacher, or don't want to find one?"

Sang Yu had long discovered that his elder brother had been pretending to be ignorant to fool him. He clearly did not want to become a disciple, but he still had to pretend to go out to look for a master.

Now is the perfect opportunity to put pressure on him and settle this matter as soon as possible.

These words hit Sang Xingjia's pain point exactly.

In his constant communication with Sang Yu, he developed certain doubts and disagreements with the existing official system and working methods of the court, and began to reject what he had learned and thought.

As for himself, his attitude towards the imperial examination was very contradictory.

When he was in the capital, he was taught not to stand out and to pretend to be invisible, so he always hid his abilities and never dared to show his talents.

After arriving in Lingnan and separating from the eldest wife, he wanted to pass the imperial examinations and give his family a good life, but he was afraid that he would repeat the same mistakes and bring trouble to his family.

His current state and thoughts are very contradictory, and he is even more confused about what to do in the future. This is the main reason why he does not want to find a teacher.

However, compared to becoming a son-in-law, these things seemed to be just his whining. He immediately shuddered and said stubbornly: "I have found a teacher and will go to him to become his disciple another day."

"Oh? Another day? When?" Sang Yu didn't want to let him go so easily. He kept putting it off, wondering how long it would take.

Sang Xingjia spoke tentatively, but the date she proposed kept shrinking as her brows furrowed. "Seven...Five...Three, in three days. I'll definitely go."

"Okay, it's settled. I'll go with big brother in three days." Sang Yu clapped his hands and finalized the matter.

There was a noise coming from the front. It was about time, and Sang Yu thought that Liu Mao should be leading people here. He jumped forward, obviously in a very good mood.

Sang Xingjia gradually came to his senses, smiled bitterly and shook his head, thinking that his younger sister had taken advantage of the opportunity to trick him.

Liu Mao arrived on time, followed by several people, both men and women.

"Miss Sang, this is the person you want. I specifically picked someone who is young and skillful."

Sang Yu had previously mentioned to him her requirements for shop assistants. They would offer the same price as other shops, but they only wanted those who were young and dexterous.

He scanned the people one by one. There were seven people in total following Liu Mao, three men and four women, all of whom were around twenty years old.

Seeing that the master of the house didn't show any strange expression despite her being so young, Sang Yu was quite satisfied. At least these people had good psychological qualities.

"As for our store, we don't have any special requirements for our employees. As long as you work hard, we won't pay you less."

Sang Yu didn't give a long speech, just said a few simple words. She knew that these people had no other requirements and they worked so hard just for the money.

There are seven people plus Liu Mao, a total of eight people staying in the store, enough to take care of the back kitchen, the front reception, and the collection and change of money.

Nowadays, shop assistants also have monthly days off, but that is a benefit only available to those who have signed long-term contracts with the store.

For guys like this who have just arrived and are still in the new stage, they are paid on a daily basis.

Sang Yu did not immediately offer them benefits such as working five days a week and having two days off, or eating as much food as he wanted in the store. Human desires are insatiable. Once the previous one is satisfied, the next one will immediately pop up.

Moreover, new employees have just joined the company. While the store owner is evaluating them, they will also observe the store owner silently. If they find that you are easy to talk to and kind-hearted, they will be bullied.

'Good people are often bullied' has never been just a saying.

Since she planned to let Liu Mao be the store owner, what she had to do was to talk less and let him establish himself so that she could better arrange the work of the people below her in the future.

She didn't need to say much about this, as Liu Mao had rich management experience.

After the seven people came over specifically for Sang Yu to review, they dispersed and waited to come to the store to work on time tomorrow.

That's right, even if the official opening is five days away, they have to come tomorrow. After all, they can get paid, and it's easier not to entertain customers, so they are happy.

New employees always have to undergo pre-job training before they can officially start their jobs. Moreover, Sang Yu also plans to make some new desserts and sweet drinks to enrich the variety.

There are actually quite a lot of sweet drinks on the market, and Sang Yu had already inquired about this when he was preparing to sell pearl milk tea.

She plans to combine the strengths of the products and make up for the weaknesses by introducing some of the more popular items on the market and adding some innovative new products.

Common drinks can be roughly divided into four categories.

One type is mainly iced drinks in summer, which are mostly sweetened by adding sugar and honey, such as perilla drink, lychee paste drink, and ice yogurt.

The second type is sweet drinks made from flowers, herbs and other materials, such as sweet bean soup, agarwood drink, mint drink, etc.

The third type is mainly fruit jams and preserves, such as papaya juice, cherry fried, etc.

The last type is tea, and lei cha is the most representative tea.

If you look closely, you will find that these drinks are mostly made with sugar and honey, and accompanied by fruits and herbs of various flavors, which is the same as the milk tea of ​​later generations.

But for Sang Yu himself, they still have too little innovation.

The types of beverages cannot be expanded due to the limited raw materials, so we can just add more toppings to the milk tea.

Haven’t you seen the milk tea in later generations? After adding all the toppings to a cup, it becomes like eight-treasure porridge, which is hard to even sip.
